Vivid and exciting

Investigative reporter, Kelly Robolo, used to be in good with the police, especially with Detective Nick McBride, but while helping a friend who was being forced to pay for "protection" in Chinatown, she was shot and an (undercover) Detective Matt Kolvic was killed. Now the police shunnher, harass her, and didn't answer calls if she needed any help. While still on medical leave, her closest friend, Victoria Bowman, called her for help. Victoria's husband, Jonathan, was missing. Soon there was evidence of an affair and possible drug trafficing from the casino in which he was an executive of. Swallowing her pride, Kelly went to Nick for help. Nick's father used to work, high on the food chain, at the same casino that Jonathan had. He was soon convinced that Jonathon's disappearance and his father's murder a year ago were somehow linked. The widow of Matt also found out that her husband was more than "undercover", he had actually been part of the protection ring! Nick was positive that was connected as well. This one catches its readers and holds onto them for dear life! Fast paced, full of action, twists, and surprises! I see awards in the future for this one!

Excellent Excellent Excellent

Ms Heggan has done it again. After reading her previous books "Enemy within", "Trust No One", "Deception" and "Suspician" I believed she could not top the past books. she proved me wrong. This is a book you simply can not put down. Every chapter has something happening and not just words to fill in the pages like most novels. Everything ties in together and makes sense. You look back and say "I should have figured that out". Kelly Robolo is an investigative reporter. Kelly's best friend's husband is missing and asks Kelly to help. Right from the start Kelly knows something fishy is going on. She gets the help from sexy cop Nick McBride who also has a lot of unanswered questions. Together they work great as a team and you can't help but laugh and cheer for them. I can't say too much without giving the plot away. But I can say that you will enjoy reading every page with all the plots working their way to one big one. Enjoy

Will get awards!

WHAT A GREAT NOVEL TO START OUT 2001!

Christiane Heggan is one of the best female mystery novelists that there is on this planet. I have read all of her novels and I believe that "Blind Faith" was by far her best. The book is classified as Romantic Suspense, but it is practially all hard core suspense. Kelly Robolo, a Connecticut investigate reporter, is startled to hear the news that her best friend, Victoria Bowman's, husband Jonathan, has been killed in a Miami fire in a drug infested hotel. Kelly and Victoria both know that Jonathan is not that kind of person and think that Jonathan has been set up by his boss and casino owner. Kelly calls upon her only police friend, Nick McBride, to help and solve this puzzling crime. As they investigate they find a link between Jonathan's "death" and Nick's father's death two years ago, who worked for the casino's security company. Non stop suspense, with a little romance thrown in. If you are going to only read one book this year, then definitely read "Blind Faith."

exciting romantic suspense

After being the Philadelphia police force's most popular investigative reporter, Kelly Robolo becomes known as "Typhoid Kelly." During a Chinatown shakedown, Kelly, who was shot, inadvertently caused the death of an underground cop. The cops harass her with undeserved tickets and graffiti at her home.Kelly's best friend Victoria Bowman asks her to look into the disappearance of her faithful, adoring spouse Jonathan. Reluctantly, while still recovering, Kelly agrees. She tries to enlist the aid of police detective Nick McBride, but he rips her head off, still blaming her for the death of his partner. As the evidence piles up that Jonathan had a mistress in Miami, Nick sees a strong link to the homicide of his father last year. Nick joins forces with Kelly not knowing where their attraction for one another will go or where the investigation will lead.BLIND FAITH is a powerful suspense thriller. The story line is fast-paced, requiring a one-sitting read, as the audience will want to know what really happened. Kelly is a great heroine who readers will admire. Although Nick's change of heart occurs due to his learning that his partner was dirty, his ease of accepting Kelly seems too simple. Still, as a team, they are dynamic. Christiane Heggan shows why she is so popular with fans with this taut investigative thriller.Harriet Klausner
